First, the horrible brother Bill is sitting with his father like nothing is wrong BUT he is supposed to be protecting his sister when they have a target on their backs and people are out to hurt them. What really bothered me was the ending that didn't have to do with H&h. When an author gets that good, that is huge. I enjoyed the intimate scenes between them too.

The things I enjoyed about this book are the most important aspects of a romance. I especially like it when I read books where my last name and the last name of good characters are the same 0) I had higher hopes for this book when I started it. Now she just had to figure out how to keep him alive. Secrets, lies, and betrayals surround her and threaten the only family she has left and lead her to question everything she knows and give in to her feelings for Carter Ellis. Terrified of falling in love with this handsome ranch hand, she resists his attentions and plans her next move only to discover that she is completely inept in the Old West.Īs she learns what is needed to survive, she realizes that not all is at it seems at Southfork. Imagine her surprise when she found herself face to face with the one man who made her knees weak and her heart race. Scared, penniless, and uncertain, she knew only that she had to keep running.

In a desperate attempt to flee the madman who had killed everyone she had ever loved, she traveled in secret to her uncle’s Colorado ranch. In this wild, untamed land, each brother would find scandal, betrayal, and a love that threatens to burn out of control. I have a long way to go until it is finished, but I'm making progress on it every day.In the midst of the Colorado mountains, lived three brothers who were driven by love, loyalty, and secrets. His life is turned upside down very early in the book and my female protagonist, Rachel, keeps him guessing in the most shocking ways. This work-in-progress tells the story of Warner Ellis, the eldest brother, who is stoic, duty bound, and just a little bit guilt-ridden. And now it is time for me to shamelessly plug their Twitter handle for my writing update, I'm working hard on book 2 of my Western Dreams Series.

This is very exciting news to me, someone who is still trying to figure out my social media and marketing presence without being completely obnoxious about it.

Now scroll to the bottom.WHAT?! Holy smokes, Batman! My book is gaining a little traction and being featured (very nicely I might add) on promo emails! I even got a few retweets. One evening, just a few days ago, I was casually checking my email as my husband and I were watching one of the several Netflix shows we stream when I opened an email that leads to this link: (Disclaimer, it is legit and won't infect your computer with anything). And, as it just so happens, this is exactly what is happening this very moment.
